"You don’t necessarily have to buy the Rites of Spring album to hear what emo rock sounded like before its big post-millennial MTV makeover. This is what bands like One Small Step for Landmines are for." - popmatters.com
"If anyone were to deny the band's potential,... they'd be dead wrong. Songs like "Everything's Gonna Be All Right" find them stretching their musical muscle for an understated, gentle roll, subtle layer-building and catchy vocals delivered from various corners. " - punknews.org
"If you are going to do pop rock you damn well better do it justice, and with a big dollop of class. Thankfully …Landmines appear to have been fully aware of this most fundamental rule – unlike the vast majority of pretenders to the throne." - new-noise.net
"One Small Step for Landmines operate on many levels, they weave threads of music that pour out of your speakers – this sounds way more huge then the 3 piece that they are. With each member taking up multiple roles within the band, they are able to capture a sound much larger then they would appear to be capable of." - lucky13zine.com
"Maybe you’re like me and you are sick of hearing countless bands all sounding the same. If so, OSSFL will become a welcomed addition to your collection, for the trio utilizes a variety of styles to produce some highly original sounding rock, which is not a phrase one can casually say today." - jerseybeat.com
"One Small Step For Landmines have done something very, very right with their self-recorded debut. The album shows the band taking pop-punk sensibilities (as in: faster, catchier, faster!), a formula that’s attractive as is for many, and mixing vocals that call back to bands that a lot of us grew up with....
...One Small Step For Landmines set the bar pretty high. There really isn’t a bad song on this album. If you’re looking for a quick burst of pop-punk energy without any of the dumbing down that generally comes with it, or if you’re just curious to hear more bands that resemble some slightly older favorites, One Small Step For Landmines are definitely worth checking out." - forthesound.com
"...despite never hearing anything by them or about them before becoming face to face with their Self-Titled effort, after one listen to the record I knew my final verdict for the record: this is really good." - thepunksite.com
"One Small Step For Landmines' eponymous début album is an astonishingly energetic and fresh piece of work that makes the overwrought whining of the haircut bands look increasingly irrelevant and tired." - subba-cultcha.com
